ANDREW ELLINAS
British-Canadian Director. Toronto, Canada.
I started in the film industry on the Harry Potter film series in practical Special Effects, working alongside the most experienced crew in the world. It is no overstatement to say that those years formed not only me but also my work aesthetic, and I always try and bring a bit of that practical magic into every project.I moved to Canada from the UK in 2017 and alongside narrative projects I have been in-house at a leading Toronto agency shooting branded content for some of Canada's top household brands in partnership with our amazing art directors and clients.All of my short films (as Writer/Director) have been screened at festivals in the UK, USA & Canada and all have been licensed for distribution online and via US cable channels. Feature versions are currently being developed.IMDB link below for full credits.
